A Rare Case of Pituicytoma During Pregnancy.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Pituicytomas are rare benign sellar tumors that originate in the neurohypophysis. We report the first case of a pituicytoma during pregnancy, causing headaches and bilateral temporal visual field defects. A 32-year-old woman at 16 weeks of gestation was admitted to our hospital for headaches and progressively worsening visual impairment. Cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a sellar lesion that was resected via a neuroendoscopic endonasal-transsphenoid approach. Pathology revealed a pituicytoma with positive progesterone receptor expression. After cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage repair and anti-infective therapy, the patient recovered well and finally gave birth to a healthy child. This is the first case of pituicytoma during pregnancy reported. Pregnancy may have a contributing effect on the progression of progesterone receptor-positive pituicytomas. Surgical intervention, when performed with appropriate perioperative management, can effectively alleviate mass effects caused by pituicytomas in pregnant women while maintaining the safety of the fetus.
